natural gas combustion
Natural gas combustion is a chemical process where natural gas (mainly methane) reacts with oxygen to produce heat, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. When ignited, the gas molecules break apart and form new molecules, releasing energy used for heating, electricity, or cooking. This process requires a proper mix of gas and air, and is controlled by a burner or engine. Efficient combustion occurs when most of the gas reacts completely, minimizing emissions. Proper operation ensures safety, optimal energy use, and reduces pollutants.
